The Mauritius Command
Patrick O'Brian
W. W. Norton & Company, 1991
More of the best naval writing ever put to paper
The Patrick O'Brian naval series of books are an acquired taste. If you love the first book, chances are that over the next few years you will find a way to work through the entire series. I do not recommend reading the book on its own. The true joy is seeing the ...

Small Unit Leadership: A Commonsense Approach
Dandridge M. Malone
Presidio Press, 1997
Well written
I am thoroughly satisfied with this book. Despite any descriptions that claim it is useful to civilian leaders I find that unlikely. The author even spends time in the first chapter to describe how very little of its contents are useful to civilian leaders and why.

Linux Pocket Guide
Daniel J. Barrett
O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2004
best little pocket guide thing I've ever seen
Might be confusing for some who don't realize that various flavours of UNINX and Linux abound but so what! This book is not supposed to teach that kind of thing anyway.

The Last Command (Star Wars: The Thrawn Trilogy, Vol. 3)
Timothy Zahn
Spectra, 1994
Thrawn Meets his End
In many cases, a reader or viewer of Star Wars can anticipate what will happen in a story before it even starts. One expects the Rebellion/New Republic to be victorious in the end. This does not make the plot any less interesting. One has a vague idea of how the ...

In the Beginning...was the Command Line
Neal Stephenson
Harper Perennial, 1999
The Reason Why I Learned to Love Linux
This book introduced me to the open source movement. Refreshing view of the programmer as "creator" in the domain of binary world. Interesting parallels to religion. This book captures the heart and soul of the information age.
